Dune: Part Two

"Staggering spectacle (...) Denis Villeneuve’s monumental adaptation expands its extraordinary world of shimmering strangeness. It’s impossible to imagine anyone doing it better (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Denis Villeneuve’s Epic Follow-Up (...) [It] graduates from the world-building thrills of the 2021 original to a meaty, all-encompassing narrative" 

"[It] maintains the grandiose visual style introduced in 'Dune' (...) Part Two is plagued by a nagging shallowness when it comes to portraying the Fremen (...) the film has difficulty fully embracing the nuance of Herbert’s anti-imperial and ecologically dystopian text." 

"The brutal blockbuster this year needs (...) In terms of pure spectacle and shock-and-awe achievement, Villeneuve has produced an adaptation of mad glory and power" 

"When was the last time a $190m blockbuster was this stately, this sinister? (...) A bold and visually astonishing piece of filmmaking (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] rights the cosmic battleship with plenty of staggering visuals, all the gigantic sandworms you’d ever want, plus a deeper thematic exploration of power, colonialism and religion (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"A sci-fi triumph that’s better than the first (...) Captivating and complex (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
